I have a 3kw generator that keeps frying battery charging regulators when I try to turn it on. Does anybody know why this is happening?

I have a 3kw generator that anytime we try to start fries the battery charging regulator and causing it to smoke and become an NMC part. I’ve never seen anything like this does anybody know what the issue could be?

Get the ole multimeter and wiring diagram out and start checking for the issue. Seems like a short or a resistor that's not resisting.

If you are a 91D, you should already know the process of troubleshooting why a generator isn't working properly. Pull the FM for the generator, and follow the troubleshooting steps. If you are not a 91D, you are not authorized to do anything about the 10 level maintenance, and should get it into the 3rd shop.
